Mr. Bertel was not present at this time.
3. APPROVAL OF PRIOR MEETING MINUTES
Mr. Melhado moved to approve Minutes No. 00-01. Mr. MacNeill seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
4. REPORTS AND DISCUSSIONS
Town Planner Ed Washburn explained that the Council had directed the Town Attorney to revamp the ordinance, incorporating three of the recommendations made by the Zoning & Planning Board. He advised that the ordinance is still consistent with the Comprehensive Plan, Policy 1.3, Objective 1, in the Future Land Use Element.
Mr. Washburn commented on a letter from Mr. Dubey which was distributed to the Board members. Mr. Dubey’s letter expressed concern with clarification of the language used in paragraph 6, page 4. Mr. Washburn advised that these issues need to be addressed by the Council.
The Board discussed the need to clarify the language differentiating between “merchandise sold” and “merchandise used for advertising purposes” to avoid conflict with enforcement in the future.
Mr. MacNeill declared that he had visited three businesses in the affected district, distributed copies of the ordinance to them and solicited their reactions. He reported that two were in favor and one was not.
(At this point, Mr. Bertel joined the meeting and was sworn in as an alternate member.)
Annette Bernard, owner of Kite World, stated that she favored the ordinance and observed that some signage in the C-2 district is getting out of hand and that the rules should be consistent for all the businesses.
Mr. Kleving advised her that the signage is a Code Enforcement matter.
Paul Dubey, Dubey’s T-Shirt Factory, stressed the importance of allowing outdoor display and requested clarification on parts of the ordinance.
Mr. MacNeill moved to find Ordinance 00-01 consistent with the Comprehensive Plan and to recommend that the Town Council request clarification from the Town Attorney on the language in Sec. 13-3(d)(6) to prevent possible enforcement difficulties. Mr. Melhado seconded. Motion carried unanimously.
5. REPORT FROM BUILDING OFFICIAL
